1135 BST: Manchester United have inquired but are yet to make a bid for Valencia midfielder David Silva. Full story: Guillem Balague

Personally if I'm honest I don't think we will win either unless we get players and we have the money, but Wenger knows what he's doing and I still think that despite the last few seasons. Jack Wilshire might play a large part this season, not sure. Arsene is still one of the best managers in the world, so I don't think we need a knew manager. Phillip Senderos was never going to play a part in Arsenal which was decided last season so that's not a suprise to me or any other Arsenal fan really and isn't really a big blow. He dipped a lot and I think he does have talent but we have: Vermalaen (sp.), Gallas, Silvestre, Song, Djourou and we might even buy another CB so we don't need him that badly. I think we will come 3rd with the current team and with some improvements 2nd. Next season when some of the younger talents have got experience, then who knows maybe we can break through and win. Only time will tell I guess but I'm sure we can win another cup in the coming season, just a matter of if it's the Carling cup or the Champions League but like I said, that depends on who and if we buy.

The finically backing for a club like Arsenal is a joke, i understand that but you got like £40 million from the sales of Toure w.e his name and Ady. No excuse there to bring in 2 or 3 class players with that money.

I don't think Jack will play a big part in your team yet this season, as he's only 17? I'll doubt he'll play any prem games until the very closing stages of season. Most deffo see him in the Carling cup and Fa. Arsene put out so good youngsters last season in the them two cups so i wouldn't be surprise if he does the same this season.

What's so funny Jack! :@

Silva would chose United over Liverpool any dayz!

[-Heart]

Watched both matches, and he was amazing in both. He has great awareness for a 17 year old and we need a good left sided player too. Both his goals were great too. A lot of pressure for him too seeing as the England Manager was there just to see him.



Arsenal 3 - Rangers 0

Arsenal 2 - Atletico Madrid - 1

Arsenal 1 - Hannover - 0

Arsenal 5 - Szombathely - 0

Arsenal 7 - SC Columbia - 1

Arsenal 2 - Barnet - 2

Won every match except 1 which we drew. I know there not the best of teams, but nevertheless it shows that we have a good team that can play together and I've watched 2/3 of the matches and we've played very well.

I know we won't win with the current team, but if we buy a couple players then who knows.

Who gives a **** if you beat them :S? It's only pre-season.

Yeah he probably will be used as a sub/for those cups but I think he is capable of playing in the PL but either way he will be a good talent in the future. Don't forget, we need to pay back for the stadium, and that's what the bulk of money is going towards so that £40 Mill might go towards that but I'm sure at least 1 or 2 signings will happen.

How about you read my other posts before you post. I clearly explained why I posted those results and what I think they meant and that I know pre-season isn't that significant.

I think Liverpool will sign either Villa or Silva by the end of the transfer window.

[Jack.Lfc]

Villa will be in the nortwest tomorrow, you heard it here first.

[Skajo]

I don't know. I really don't.

Think about it - Vermaelen is a straight swap for Toure yes and he's 5 years younger than Kolo with potential to become a new Hangeland - a Prem gem. If you solely watched Adebayor last season he's a very lazy player and insists on everything being done for him. Class player, too egotistical and really can't play in a team and Wenger's made a tidy profit on him. That's all that's left.

They still have the talisman Fabregas in the team, Gallas who played fantastic the latter end of the season, Rosicky and Eduardo fully back from injury - Ramsay, Walcott and Vela will shine this season if given chances and you've got back up in the shape of Gibbs and Wilshere who have been playing fantastic.

I think Arsenal have the best chance of winning the title this season without any more additions since they last won it. I don't think Chamak will improve the team drastically, his strike rate is 1 in 4 and for a striker that's incredibly poor. I do think Melo would've improved the team but I think they could do with an experienced midfielder and could replace Almunia because he is sometimes a liability.

In other words, I reckon Arsenal have a great chance of winning the title.

[CHA!NGANG]

I'm in two minds of Almunia and Gallas. They can be great at times, and have good experience but at other times they can lapse and play poorly.

Everton in talks with Arsenal over Senderos
Everton have confirmed they are in talks with Arsenal over the proposed transfer of Philippe Senderos to Goodison Park.
The Merseyside outfit claim the deal is not yet done but that negotiations are ongoing with Arsenal.
A fee of around £6million has been mooted, with any deal for Senderos likely to intensify speculation over the future of Manchester City target Joleon Lescott.

Toffees chairman Bill Kenwright told the club's official website: "We have been negotiating with Arsenal for the transfer of Philippe.
"Nothing has been concluded yet but talks are on going."

Lescott on his way then?

Liverpool in for Defour
Steven Defour's agent has confirmed that Liverpool are keen on the Belgian star.
Real were considering Defour should they not sign Xabi Alonso from Liverpool, who are also viewing him a replacement for the Spaniard.
Roma's Alberto Aquilani remains a target for Rafa Benitez, but Defour is also very much on the radar for the Anfield club, who are expected to sell Alonso to Real this week.
Standard have insisted that they will not be parting company with their prized asset but, Defour feels that is not the case.
"I have an agreement with Standard Liege that I could go to a top club, and Liverpool fit the bill," the 21-year-old is quoted by the English press.
And his agent, Paul Stefani, has confirmed that Liverpool are keen on Defour.
"Steven's name has been mentioned not only at Real Madrid, but also at Liverpool - they are looking at him too," he told the Daily Mail.
"Normally he would stay for another year, but nobody could say no to clubs like those - and Liege would not stand in his way."

Anyone seen Defour play? I've heard he's good but haven't seen him play

I did read your other posts ol:. You said that it shows you can play together well as a team against sides like Atletico and Rangers blah, blah, blah. You don't know what's going to happen in the Premiership this season. Fulham and Portsmouth could both beat you twice, you don't know that. Pre-Season is just about fitness and what not. So don't get too excited over beating those kind of teams, especially in PRE-SEASON :rolleyes:.
